Eight Verses on Mind Training together with Its History
FULL TEXT
Description
This commentary on Eight Verses on Mind Training is attributed to Chekawa in
the colophon at the end of the text, an attribution that is affirmed by Yeshé Döndrup in Treasury of Gems (p. 513). . . . The somewhat archaic literary style of the text suggests that this is one of the earliest commentaries on an explicit mind training text, if not the earliest. It is possible that Chekawa may have composed the work on the basis of oral teachings received from Langri Thangpa himself, the author of the Eight Verses root text. (Thupten Jinpa, Mind Training: The Great Collection, 613n412)
